To all: Are you realising that this part of the story is a bit too wound up? Too many action ideas - Viper has to find something very important there, so the main plot will go on. There is no breath taking possible - I suggest this:
Viper - please, find what you need
Womble - aid him after he's found it
Nero - you'll have to wait until Aganeth appears, then your undead master and you join the fight - grand finale - and we're off. And you're undead, dead or alive again.

Why? Cause this is only a subwizard - if you all use up your grand ideas like in a firework now - what will remain for Rabaer, the 1st main wizard? How will you be able to build up tension again?

Just my thoughts - I know, it's difficult to spare up ideas for later - but this castle here turns out like the chimera = opera buffo in 5 acts - and Aganeth will die of debility.

The main Aganeth plot was:
to free the animals - an idea out of the fighter group = solved.
break one ally bond = solved
find an important artefact = VIPER, hm????
find more info = Jolie/Willow = solved
Then off to Rabaer???? I mean, he's the 1st MAIN wizard out of the 7, after all.

not expected but useful additions:
artefact leading on to next main wizard = Naganous <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
main races quest starting = dwarves
main races quest starting = dragons
main races quest starting = orcs
main races quest starting = demons? Nero, if so - you'll spend quite a long time alone

Don't you think this is enough? We should come to a solution for this castle. And we can't run off to finish the 1st main wizard if so many main quests are waiting for solution.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, please <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> - please, think of the story afterwards - you can't keep up this pace!!! Let's have a short brainstorming here before we proceed - PLEASE!!! with all these quests waiting we'll have to split up in very small groups or start off alone in some cases - and then the time zone problem (7-9 hrs) or Carrie/DQueene/Nero/Luc/Jvb not being able to keep up will increase this.
